The purpose of this research is to overcome the problems in the traditional fish drying process, by using a closed container photovoltaic dryer with the help of a heating element. The results obtained by using the dryer can save drying time which initially takes 3-5 days to only 12 hours. The drying process using this tool can work even if the weather conditions are rainy or at night. The total time required during the fish drying process reached 12 hours with light intensity rain weather conditions. The results obtained are much better than the traditional drying time which takes 3-5 days on average for the drying process. In addition to saving drying time, the salted fish is also visually more hygienic than the traditional drying process, because it is in a dryer that is protected from dirt and virus-carrying animals. The resulting product needs further testing from a health perspective, although it works well mechanically.</em></p> 2023-12-26T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Piston: Jurnal Teknologi http://piston-jt.uho.ac.id/index.php/journal/article/view/46 Rancang Bangun Rangka (Chasis) Mobil 2023-08-21T01:37:22+00:00 Alfian Muhajrin nirwanpaliki@gmail.com Nirwanpaliki nirwanpaliki@gmail.com Ricaldin nirwanpaliki@gmail.com Saddang nirwanpaliki@gmail.com Sudarsono sudarsono@uho.ac.id Prinop Askar prinob@uho.ac.id <p><em>An electric car is a car that is driven by an electric motor and uses electrical energy stored in a battery. The use of electric cars is considered effective in addition to not causing air pollution and simpler engine construction. In the use of electric cars, of course, requires a frame that functions as a support for all the loads on the vehicle. A frame construction itself must have strength, light weight and have flexibility value. In the design of the frame (chassis) of electric cars has a purpose, namely the shape of the frame design (chassis) of electric cars and the strength of the frame (chassis) of electric cars with the bending test method. In the use of frame construction used type of ladder frame (H), for the frame material itself using non-ferrous metal materials, namely Aluminium. In the connection process, a drilling process is used for keeling nails, from the design of the frame (chassis) of an electric car with a length of 223.5 cm, front width of 47.5cm, middle and rear width 33 cm and frame weight 24.40 kg. The bending testing process here uses 2 driver loads of 45 kg and 82 kg. Measurements are carried out through the balance point on the frame that has been obtained, so that the bending test obtained a deflection value of 0.3 cm with a driver weight of 45 kg and 0.6 cm with a driver weight of 82 kg, In the position before the load is given and after the load is given the deflection back in the initial position of 15.4 cm. Thus, the frame (chassis) of an electric car has met the requirements of the vehicle frame, which has a value of flexibility or flexibility and is light and strong.</em></p> 2023-12-26T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Piston: Jurnal Teknologi http://piston-jt.uho.ac.id/index.php/journal/article/view/49 Sistem Perawatan pada Mesin Pembangkit/Genset pada PT.

The force components u, CD, -CPb, CL and St are analyzed numerically. The method used in this research is the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulent model with variations in the angle of incidence of fluid flow on a square test geometry model with cross-section height H = 40 mm (D = H). The results showed that the large angle of incidence of the flow increased the value of CD, CL due to the enlargement of the flow in the downstream wake area. While the CP value also decreased due to the negative pressure gradient of the downstream area enlarged with an increase in the value of the angle of attack of the flow. The angle of attack increases the parameters CD<sub>max</sub> = 2.33, CP = -1.87, and St = 0.09 at an angle of -30° while at an angle of 0° the value of CD = 2.05 -CPb = -1.37, St = 0.128. Changes in the angle of incidence of the flow affect the frequency of vortices.
